Unfortunately, my circumstances are unlikely to improve in the foreseeable future and I have no assets to sell to help clear my debt. I am therefore asking you to consider writing off my debt as I can see no way of ever repaying it. If you are unable to agree to this, please explain your reasons.
Illustrate how you were affected by it at the time and how you continue to be hurt by it. State what you wish the other person had done instead. End with an explicit statement of forgiveness and understanding, for example, “I realize now that what you did was the best you could at the time and I forgive you."

Credit card debt forgiveness involves negotiating with your creditor to have a portion or the entirety of your debt canceled, typically due to financial hardship. This process often requires submitting a formal request detailing your circumstances and may necessitate supporting documentation.
If your debts are overdue the creditor may be willing to negotiate with you. They might even agree to accept less than what you owe. Sometimes it's possible to work out an agreement so your debt is eliminated and debt collectors can't sue you for the debt.
Finally, credit card issuers will sometimes forgive a portion of your balance, but typically only in certain circumstances. "Creditors are generally reluctant to forgive debts, as it results in financial losses for them," says Howard Dvorkin, chairman of Debt.
First, you'll need to contact your lender and let them know you want the information. Depending on your lender, you may have to sign in to an online account, call a helpline, or send a formal letter to start the request process.
